VRX Trade on Oct 19, 2015 09:56 from rsteckly: Tradervue User Stock Trades.

Macro situation: neutral.

I could see VRX bouncing off its VWAP. The problem was that I was unsure of my sell the news thesis; more careful research and preparation would have helped.

So I went long but wasn't fully committed to this being a countertrend trade. Had I been committed to my thesis, I would have taken profits at the 2:1 risk point and been out.

I also think this trade was just too hard to execute anyway. Why trade countertrend when you take easy setups that follow the trend? It's too hard to do.
